Cole was suddenly a little flustered when he saw the bloodthirsty look in Spencer's eyes. "Dad, Angeline is just a weak and feeble woman. As you can see, she has lost her vision as well."

When he talked about 'vision loss', Cole choked up with emotions. "It's my fault. I killed her husband. She cried herself blind. I owe her too much."

Spencer said angrily, "You're too soft-hearted. You saw it yourself. Her bodyguard is definitely no ordinary man. Judging from the skills of that guy called Ben, he's more than capable of wreaking havoc in the Yorks' stronghold."

Cole explained, "She's blind. She needs someone like that to protect her."

Spencer said, "Well I think you're blinded by love. Think about it. That guy called Ben can certainly make a big break with his own ability, so why would h e choose to stay beside a woman like a useless coward?"

Cole said, "If I'm not mistaken, Ben is probably a bodyguard given to Angeline by the eldest grandson of the Ares family, Jay Ares. Jay was the one who founded Ghost. After his death, the Ghosts members vowed loyalty and devotion to Angeline."

Spencer was so furious that he grabbed the teapot and hurled it at Cole. "You b*stard. Why didn't you say this earlier?"

Cole replied, "You didn't ask."

Spencer said, "This is a huge deal. Don't you understand what's at stake here? Cole, the Yorks' 108 strongholds and the life and death of a population of hundreds of thousands are in your hands. For the sake of a woman, you've placed the Yorks' stronghold i n a dangerous position. You... How should I punish you for this?"

Cole knew he was wrong, hence he just stood there without making any rebuttals.

Spencer thought Cole was feeling remorseful and could not bring himself to continue criticizing him, hence he waved to him helplessly. "Forget it. I will clean up your mess for you."

Cole's lifeless pupils suddenly began to roll in their sockets. "Dad!"

He chased after Spencer and pulled his wrist like he was afraid that Spencer might take off. "What are you going to do to her?"

Spencer said, "The fish has slipped through the net. You were already kind enough to let her live a few more years."

Cole suddenly fell to his knees and grabbed Spencer's leg, his dashing face revealing a firm and determined expression that no one had ever seen before. "I'm in n o position to say anything if you want her dead, Dad. But if she dies, then my love will die with her. I will leave home and become an anchorite. I hope you will show me your support when that happens."

Spencer uttered in exasperation, "Are you threatening me, Cole?"

Cole said no more, but his eyes looked firm and determined like he was not to be challenged.

Spencer was furious...

There were lightning and thunder in the sky, yet ultimately, the storm that should come never arrived.

The sky cleared up.

Spencer pointed at Cole and said, "You think I can only rely on you to carry on our ancestral line just because you're my only son? Screw you. I'm still young and more than capable of giving birth to a bunch of sons. If you still want to be an anchorite when that happens, then I will be sure to send you off with a gun barrel."

Spencer walked away, cursing.

Cole let out a huff and fell to the ground.

"I will protect you, Angeline," Cole muttered.

"I won't make you sad or break your heart anymore."

Refreshing Breeze Courtyard.

Jay stood quietly in the courtyard. Through the square bamboo door frame, he saw the Corvettes brothers standing guard outside Refreshing Breeze Courtyard.
